I spent 30 days north of the Arctic Circle in Greenland in the winter of 1990. 65°F below zero (-55°C) when I landed from Goose Bay Canada … which was balmy compared to arctic Greenland. Indigenous gear works very well. Dress in layers … lots … it is planned with the gear. Wool gloves, followed by wool mittens, followed by water proof lined mittens. Wool socks, followed by a warm boot liner, followed by mukluks, followed by a hard and protective outer shoe. Long johns under wool pants under “Iron Pants”. Up to a parka with a snorkel like hood to let your breath warm the air before your lungs are frozen. Etc. And it is all quite functional, i.e. one can work. The indigenous animals are genetically acclimated to the climate. Amazing. Watch them. They will show you how to find and thaw water … or blood … , food … or blood and food, and shelter. Survival of the fittest.

I wrote this poem with my own ideas, In this poem I want to give you the message that we must have to take a stand where we need otherwise only regrets are left.
